This message is intended for our 3rd-5th grade families and is to inform you about our student material pickup tomorrow - Tuesday, Nov. 3.
The pickup will be located on Mill Street
The times are 11:30-1:00 and 3:00-4:30
We will have a designated area for each grade level (3rd, 4th, and 5th). Look for the grade level signs signs.
As you pull up to your designated area, there will be an adult that will greet you and ask you your child's name. Please stay in your vehicle. We will bring your child's materials out to you.
If you are the parent of a fifth grade student and you received materials last Friday, you will still need to come during one of the designated times tomorrow to pick up some additional materials.
Thank you!

As we approach the end of our reopening window (9/1 - 10/30), I would like to inform you of a few changes that we are planning for with our in-person learning starting on Monday, Nov. 2.
1. We are planning to maintain our cohort model, but we will be re-implementing the traditional model of specials (art, music, PE) back into the schedule.
2. All students will be dismissed at the same time and we will only offer the 3:30 bus route. If your child currently goes home at 2:30, and their destination will change due to the 3:30 dismissal for all students, please contact the elementary office (715) 926-3645.
3. The after-school homework club will no longer be offered.
If your child is currently receiving their education remotely, please call the office by Friday, October 23. At that time we would like you to let us know if your child will continue with remote learning, or if they will return for in-person learning on November 2nd. The phone number is (715) 926-3645.
We have also been working on a separate plan in the event that we need to transition to 100% remote learning at any time. The district would provide chromebooks to all elementary students, and is prepared to accommodate families with internet connectivity issues. There would be a two day buffer of no school before starting the 100% remote schedule to allow staff and families the opportunity to get everything prepared, dispersed, and collected.
Flu shot consent forms need to be turned in to Sue Poeschel, School Nurse, by tomorrow, 10/14/20.

Parents - we have recently had a lot of unsafe and inappropriate behavior by some unsupervised students on the elementary playground during after school hours. We have decided to lock the playground starting at 3:45 each night, and not allow students to use it. We will communicate with you if anything changes in the future.

3rd graders are ready for Homecoming
Mondovi High School will be having an abbreviated Homecoming Parade today at 3:10 PM. The parade route is not the traditional route through town, instead it is limited to a walking parade around the perimeter of the school. The parade is intended for student viewing, however, we will be live streaming the parade on Buffalo TV starting at approximately 3:10 PM. If community members are present for the parade, please know that it is expected that all students, staff, and community members are to be wearing facial coverings and do their best to distance themselves from others. Thank you and GO BUFFS!

Dear Students, Parents and Mondovi Community Members,
Due to some recent events at the Volleyball match at Durand, our spectators and athletes have unfortunately been labeled in a negative way as to their conduct and sportsmanship. It was reported that spectators were not sitting in their family unit or physically distancing in bleachers and facial coverings not being worn or worn incorrectly. At a meeting of the conference schools today, many are reluctant to allow their various teams to compete with Mondovi. Tonight's home VB event vs Durand is in jeopardy of not taking place. This will depend upon the decision made by the Durand school officials.
Whether you support the wearing of facial coverings and physical distancing or not, it must be respected and complied with if we are going to continue to provide our students with opportunities to compete against other schools. We MUST take action immediately to correct this. I fear that even one more evening similar to Tuesday night could drastically impact our students ability to participate in the activities they love.
It is of the utmost importance that our spectators follow the guidelines below:
1. Each athlete and coach will be provided four wristbands that they can decide who gets one for each game. The wristband will be your admittance to the game and only those with a wristband will be allowed in at each game.
2. Those in attendance should wear facial coverings as stated in any state, county, or district mandate, based on if the event is indoors or outdoors. This means it is worn appropriately - covering both the nose and the mouth.
3. We ask that all families sit together with those in their household and physically distance from those in other households.
4. Each participating team will have their own seating section and we ask that you sit in those defined areas.
5. We are asking that all fans arrive as close as possible to the event start time of the athlete who provided them their wristband.
6. Upon completion of your event, we ask that all fans leave the location of the competition, not to congregate, and allow space for those that are watching the next event to enter the facility. The wristbands are not transferable between events.
Because of the swapping of wristbands that took place at the Durand VB game, the 4 or less guests per athlete must arrive at the same time to the event, wearing the wristbands and with a piece of paper that has the athlete's name on it as well as the guests in attendance. We will be collecting the paper at the door to help with contact tracing if it is found, after the fact, that there was one or more positive covid cases at the event.
7. By agreeing to the use of the wristband, the user is agreeing to abide by all state, county, and host district protocols or mandates related to facial coverings and physical distancing. If you are unable to abide by the protocols we ask for you to not attend the event and instead watch the event via live-stream.
There is no student section. Students are to sit with their family and distance themselves from other family groups(#3 above). If you find that you are the only member of your family at the event, you are to distance yourself from others.
Again, due to the events at Durand, there is a real possibility that conference schools may decide to not allow their student athletes to participate in events with Mondovi athletics/activities.
PLEASE talk with your family members and children about this issue. We need to check our feelings and personal thoughts about the issue at the door. If we don't, our students will be the ones that suffer the outcome.
Thank you,
--
